AI Summary
This bill requires any corporation that receives a tax credit under specific sections of Chapter 63 of the General Laws to provide its employees with a health insurance plan that covers all essential health benefits as defined by the Massachusetts essential health benefit benchmark plan. The essential health benefits are a set of ten categories of services that most health plans must cover, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act, and the Massachusetts benchmark plan outlines what these benefits entail within the state. This provision aims to ensure that companies benefiting from tax incentives also contribute to the health and well-being of their workforce by offering comprehensive health coverage.
